[Alsa-user] 96 kHz, 24 bit usb external soundcard
Hi, I'm looking for a 96 kHz - 24 bit external usb 2.0 soundcard well supported by linux/alsa drivers. Does exist such a piece of hardware or am I just dreaming? Thank you in advance for answering. -- toglimi.hamra...@toglimi.quipo.it ANTI-SPAM: please cut toglimi. for my real e-mail address.

[Alsa-user] Sound Blaster Digital Music SX playback works, but low volume in either R or L channel
Hello,
I have been trying to make Sound Blaster Digital Music SX work in my linux
box.
It is recognized, related modules (snd-usb-audio and others) are
autoloaded, and
the playback works. But the Right-Left volume balance is wrong. The left
channel
volume (sometimes right instead) is too small, though it is not zero.
Something is
wrong with the device configuration by ALSA as it works without problems
under the
Windows XP environment using system default USB audio driver.
Can I ask your advice on this problem?
Thanks in advance.
The current environment as follows:

I'm using the snd_hda_codec_nvhdmi module of the latest
2.6.30-gentoo-r1 kernel sources and NVIDIA drivers 185.18.08, but had
no luck with alsa-driver-1.0.20 either...
So, you compiled and installed the 1.0.20 driver and then rebooted and
verified the install with 'cat /proc/asound/version' -- yes?
If so, then I'd look at your .asoundrc. I've attached mine (Nvidia-
based ASUS MB), developed by trian and error, I'm no expert.
good luck

Yes, that's my problem indeed. I didn't mention that the module
snd_hda_codec_nvhdmi
isn't even loaded at boottime. But on manual module load the device isn't
avaible either.
So could it be that my device pci ids aren't hardcoded in the module source yet?
The .asoundrc isn't helping me, since the alsa device isn't created:

Could this simply be patched with my id?
